Jethro Tull - Dark Ages Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Darlings are you ready for the long winters fall?
  • Said the lady in her parlor
  • Said the butler in the hall.
  • Is there time for another?
  • Cried the drunkard in his sleep.
  • Not likely
  • Said the little child. whats done
  • The lord can keep.
  • And the vicar stands a-praying.
  • And the television dies
  • As the white dot flickers and is gone
  • And no-one stops to cry.
  • The big jet rumbles over runway miles
  • That scar the patchwork green
  • Where slick tycoons and rich buffoons
  • Have opened up the seam
  • Of golden nights and champagne flights
  • Ad-man overkill
  • And in the haze
  • Consumer crazed
  • We take the sugar pill.
  • Jagged fires mark the picket lines
  • The politicians weep
  • And mealy-mouthed
  • Through corridors of power on tip-toe creep.
  • Come and see bureaucracy
  • Make its final heave
  • And let the new disorder through
  • While senses take their leave.
  • Families screaming line the streets
  • And put the windows through
  • In corner shops
  • Where keepers kept
  • The countrys life-blood blue.
  • Take their pick
  • And try the trick
  • With loaves and fishes shared
  • And the vicar shouts
  • As the lights go out,
  • And no-one really cares.
  • Dark ages
  • Shaking the dead
  • Closed pages
  • Better not read
  • Cold rages
  • Burn in your head.
